One of my favorite toys to photograph is the LEGO custom I received for my participation in the 2018 Oregon Toy Safari. I named him Ray Z. Tenny, and he travels a lot.
Isn’t he adorable? This character receives a lot of love on Instagram when I post his pics. There’s something about that simple, hopeful-yet-uncertain expression that allows the viewer to bring their own emotions to the photo. He goes with me everywhere: forests, caves, coffee shops, railroad yards, fences, rivers, lakes or the ocean. And the journeys aren’t over yet!

Wondering how custom minifigures are made?
Toy photographer and custom figure creator @Krash_Override (aka my homey Dennis) explains how these figures came about in his post Thinking Outside the Brick: A Story of The 2018 Meet-up Giveaway Figure.
